    Look snazzy. More stylish than goggle type foggles or a hood. Flexible and easy to put on under headphones. Comfortable to wear.

    Cons

    They don't cover as much of upper eye area as expected.

    Light set of glasses. Great to have the wrap around feature so there is no need to put a map on the edge of the windshield.

    Cons

    shipping was almost half the cost of the glasses. I suppose with some planning and buying more from Sporty's that could have been less of a percentage.

    Just what I needed! My instructor had the clear foggles, but the glare from the sun was killing me! The tinted foggles I received let me concentrate on my flying instead of trying to dodge the sun!

    Cons

    To early to tell about durability and rliability.
